padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight. </span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Transforming the yard to a winter delight. </span></p><p style="background: rgb(254, 243, 221); border: 0px; color: #2216c7; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve. </span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream. </span></p><p style="background: rgb(254, 243, 221);

border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The sound wasn’t loud, and it wasn’t too near,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear. </span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Perhaps just a cough, I didn’t quite know, Then the</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> And I crept to the door just to see who was near. </span></p><p style="background: rgb(254, 243, 221);

border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight. </span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child. </span></p><p style="background: rgb(254, 243, 221);

border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> ‘What are you doing?’ I asked without fear,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> ‘Come in this moment, it’s freezing out here! </span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!’</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts.. </span></p><p style="background: rgb(254, 243, 221);

border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Then he sighed and he said ‘Its really all right, </span><br /><span style="background: transparent;

I’m here every night.’</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> ‘It’s my duty to stand at the front of the line,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> That separates you from the darkest of times. </span></p><p style="background: rgb(254, 243, 221);

border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> I’m proud to stand here like my fathers before me. </span><br /><span style="background: transparent;

border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Then he sighed, ‘That’s a Christmas ‘Gram always remembers.’</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ‘ Nam ‘,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent;

border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> But my wife sends me pictures, he’s sure got her smile. </span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The red, white, and blue… an American flag.</span><br /><span style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> I can live through the cold and the being alone,</span><br /><span style="background: transparent;

Next day I see it's in a Fedex facility in Oakland, CA. WTF?<br />
Day after that it was delivered and signed for in San Francisco. Shit.<br />
Since May 5th I've got no response from Amazon, no refund, no replacement, email, nada .<br />
Fedex tells me "not our problem, go to Amazon".<br />
So now I'm out a bottle of good bourbon or a coupla boxes of ammo.<br />
Maybe if joined the riots I could loot Amazon for fifty bucks worth of shit.<br />
2020 is not shaping up real well.<br />

Face masks are unavailable. She tested positive and is sick.<br />
My grandaughter is a nurse at the Fresno VA.<br />
She was told to wear the same mask everyday as there are no new ones.<br />
Sec. Wilkie are you listening?<br />

As I was getting everything ready for the range I noticed the safety was broken. Put it on safe, pull the trigger, CLICK.<br />
I took it to my 'smith and he called me back next day and said to send it to Mossberg as the stock has to be removed and to do that the oneway screw holding the selector on would get butchered.<br />
He gave me a shipping box, I shelled out $47 to Fedex, and I get an email from Mossy telling me six to eight weeks. WTF?<br />
Is that normal?<br />
I have sent pistols to Ruger And got them fixed and back to me in a week.<br />

First round was forgettable as I left my brain in the truck.<br />
After that, it was just OK.<br />
Nothing to brag about, but we had some fun.<br />
And I won his dollar.<br />
<br />
Take a kid shootin'.<br />

No joy, they said that their shop was too small to repair stocks so they're sending it back and recommending I send it to Midwest.<br />
Hell with it. I'll shoot it till it quits and shop around for a new trap gun.<br />
I loved that ol' stack barrel...sigh.Skiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05684179171065794525noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457549808960333335.post-4917371993023037882019-06-03T15:23:00.000-07:002019-06-03T15:23:10.177-07:00UPSI had to ship the stock and action of my Citori back to Browning due to the asshole that owned it before me had plugged the access to the stock screw.<br />
Took it to UPS to box and ship.<br />
"Oh, gun part, we can't ship that".<br />
They sent me twenty miles to their 'shipping hub'.<br />
Sign on the locked door read "hours 8 to 4.30".<br />
Knocked, no one home. (1:20pm)<br />
Took it to FEDEX and a nice young lady said it will leave today.<br />
$48.74 included insurance to $660.00<br />
Now I just hope Browning fixes it.<br />
It was made in 1974 and I've had it ten years with at least 100 rounds a week through it.<br />
Who knows if it has ever been apart.<br />
Made 'em good back in the day...heh.Skiphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05684179171065794525noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457549808960333335.post-76744056642559578692019-05-20T19:38:00.001-07:002019-05-20T19:38:56.004-07:00CCW renewNew rules state that you have to qualify with every gun on your permit.<br />
Guess who had his head in his arse and didn't bring holsters..yeah that guy.<br />
Thinking it was all "Low ready, Shoot", I was not ready for "Man with a knife, draw and two shots".<br />
Borrowed a kydex holster for the CZ, right handed of course, as Mom made me lefty...sigh.<br />
Luckily, we shot fifty rounds on the first gun, and only twelve each on the others.<br />
So I got the pretend draw down. I got that goin' for me.<br />
